wrote:

I have a small Simoniz Pressure washer 1300psi (1700 psi with special
nozzle). I used it one this summer and it worked fine. The second
time I used it, it started loosing pressure after 8seconds or so. So
if I let go of the trigger, and wait 15 seconds or so, then I get
pressure again for 8sec. But if I continue using it after it looses
pressure it lows the breakers in my house (because it's drawing too
much power). Any idea why that happens and how to fix it? The
unit is about 4 years old and used twice each summer. Thanks.

It sounds like the supply hose is kinked.
